Reminiscences of the Long Ago by Uncle Josh
The narrator recalls his boyhood visits to Aunt Matilda Joiner near the Columbia bridge on the Augusta road. He recalls hunting partridges and doves, fishing with Catfish Dick and Daniel Hook, and compares old river life to modern Brookland with its stores, banks, schools, and a growing town. The piece describes the old Congaree bridge, ferries, changes after the Civil War, and memories of crossing to Columbia with the Misses Fox and Mrs Drucy Rawls.

Questions and Answers on Potato Disease Control and Oats Fertilizer
